acceptable soldering practices. Use care to avoid applying excessive heat that burns through the
insulation of the center conductors and shorts the shield to the signal wire. Slide a minimum 0.75
inches of Teflon heat shrinkable tubing (item 3,

of conductors present in the cable and the Flat Braid (item 4,
Teflon Heat Shrinkable Tubing:
Reference the following MIL-Spec for Teflon heat shrinkable tubing (M23053/5-X-Y).

Preferred Method:
The jacket and shield should be cut off at the same point so no shield is exposed. Slide 0.75 inches
minimum of Teflon heat shrinkable tubing (item 5,
to shrink the tubing. The chosen size of heat shrinkage tubing must accommodate the number of
conductors present in the cable.
Secondary Method:
Leave a max 0.35 inches of shield extending past the jacket. Fold this 0.35 inches of shield back
over the jacket. Slide a solder sleeve (item 5,
gun approved for solder sleeves to secure the connection. The chosen size of solder sleeve must
accommodate the number of conductors present in the cable.
5. Strip back approximately 0.17 inches of insulation from each wire of the shielded cable (item 2,
Figure 22-7) and crimp a contact (item 6, Figure 22-7) to each conductor. It is the responsibility of
the installer to determine the proper length of insulation to be removed. Wire must be visible in
the inspection hole after crimping and the insulation must be 1/64 – 1/32 inches from the end of
the contact as shown in Figure 22-7.
